In
September 2012 Dredd 3D hit cinemas hoping to work some reboot magic on a
stagnant movie franchise. The first attempt at an adaptation, Judge Dredd,
was released in 1995 and starred Sylvester Stallone, it was a box-office disaster and swiftly faded into obscurity. When the reboot was announced, it was generally met with scepticism due to the unwanted
association with its predecessor and consequently, expectations were modest at best.
The resulting movie, Dredd 3D, was (in my opinion) one of the best and most underrated films of the year! It knew
exactly what it needed to be and delivered, it was great fun with effective violence and minimal gore. It was a comic-book adaptation
with heart and yet it will go down as one of the biggest box-office disappointments of the year!
But why?
But why?
